Abstract: OMB clearance is requested for a comprehensive randomized control trial study of the Retired Mentors for New Teachers program for probationary teachers developed by the Aurora Public School District (APS), in Aurora Colorado. The program uses recentlyretired master teachers to provide oneon-one mentoring to probationary teachers in high poverty elementary schools. The program was developed by APS over a three year period from 2008– 2011. The district has partnered with REL Central to conduct a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) study of the program because it desires to understand program impacts on teacher retention, performance, and teacher evaluations. The district has committed resources to pay for the intervention as well as for teachers to participate in any data gathering activities, such as surveys or focus groups. This OMB clearance request is to collect data from 100 teachers and 8 teacher mentors. It does not include data collection from students.
